Abstract

According to one embodiment, an apparatus may store a plurality of token-based rules that facilitate access to a risk-sensitive resource. The apparatus may further store a first token that may indicate that a user is accessing a non-risk-sensitive resource. The apparatus may receive a second token that may indicate that the user is attempting to access the risk-sensitive resource. In response to receiving the second token, the apparatus may apply the token-based rule to make an access decision whereby the user's access to the non-risk-sensitive resource will be terminated. The apparatus may then communicate at least one token representing the access decision.
